Question is "Why?" Why do we have our TV screen Skype? Is it worth it to invest a sum of NIS 1,000, in addition to buying an advanced screen that supports all this technology - and not all monitors support.
If you need business owners often have meetings with people who are abroad, and thus uses no screen buy cheap conference room, it can be a relatively easy solution. If you Skype, this is your long-term strategy. So says Helen Blackburn, a company representative spoke us through the screen. The company wants to be every possible screen - the computer screen, via cellphone and the television screen. the desire of this company has always been to replace the phone companies - to leave them with the supply pipe and pass the information itself to control content.
Do not like computers? Like it
But what if you, well, not business people and members of Skype? Here the answer a little more complicated, and it returns us to the Hollywood dream, magic screen that does everything. It's a nice dream, and it becomes a reality in recent years, but still this reality is very different from what we would like. Skype is why television is a good idea on paper that is not necessarily to be good at is our life's script was a little less polished film. If there is destruction in the "video call girl - naked calling the wrong number was just Achsstalon entered his apartment, is a realistic scenario Skype scheduling your TV screen will not be so comfortable. This solution is not to leave the software running all the time, which leads us to non-scenario - where we did start the Skype screen only once a month, at best, when we know who should get a call and we want the whole family to see it. Beyond that, the image quality on the screen of your HD camera will be the quality of Heschel line on the other side, because that HD does not appear miraculously, you also need high-resolution photographic equipment.
 Screen in the living room becomes the center of our digital life, as well as when he says that our children do not understand how TV could get without video connectivity. But for now, this is a product of his main target audience is apparently just people do not understand the technology - people who really want to see their children who live abroad, but do not know how to open a computer and enter the free Skype. For them, it is easy and convenient solution, which may justify the high cost.
